Denton Poets' Assembly meets again on April 16th for poetry readings by members and guests at the Emily Fowler Public Library from 10 am - noon.
Members will read assigned poems from the Rondeau Redouble' French form.
Later in the meeting J. Paul will present a lesson titled, "Strawberry Soup." He explains:
"This month I want to tell a tale about strawberry soup, but it’s really a story about how a poem develops, or maybe about how two poems develop, or a story about how one almost develops, the other one springboards off the first and becomes the first published, then the first one lies dormant and finally comes out of the shadows and also gets published."
Following the lesson, members and guests will be given an opportunity to read free-choice poems.
